Are you really trying to gatekeep the internet?
No, I'm trying to find a solution to a very real problem. World has had at least partial outages every day for a week now. It affects everyone when it gives the impression that things don't work and people aren't able to create content to attract new people to the wider platform. But have an upvote anyway.
What?
People can subscribe to other instances or even host their own. If the majority of users end up on the same instance then what's the point of decentralization? Even worse if the traffic it generates for that instance makes it unstable.
Should the admin do nothing until the instance is mostly down with windows of uptime throughout the day?
